PREFACE.
THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete List of
all the genera and species of Dermaptera Saltatoria known to
exist in the collections of European and American Entomologists.
The letters a, b, c, &c., after the species, denote the specimens now
contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the
mode in which each of them was obtained ; and the absence of
these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and there-
fore desirable to be procured for the collection.

CATALOGUE,
OF
LOCUSTIDvE.
(CONTINUED).
THE Locustidae include several distinct families, but the division of
the above group is postponed, in order to ascertain more satisfactorily the
number of families, and to assign to each family every genus that it
includes. Of the genera of Locustidae in the preceding Part of the Cata-
logue, Deinacrida, Rhapidophora, Hadeno3cus, Ceuthophyllus, Schceno-
bates, Udeopsylla, Daihinia, Tropidischia, Camptonotus, Macropathus,
Libanasa, Machamala, Licodia, Lutosa and Luceua, may be included in
the Rhapidophorida3. The genera Cerberodon, Monocerophora, Anosto-
toma, Gnathoclita, Hemideina, Licola, Gryllacris, Larnaca, Stenopelrnatus
and Lezina, belong to the Stenopelmatidae, to which Servillea and Crato-
inulus are also here referred.

11. HETRODES FOBTIS.
Mas. Testaceus, fusco nebulosns ; caput unispinomm, vertice scabro ;
prothorax scaber, quadrispinosux cornubusque duobus trispinosis
armatum, postice tridccim spinosus, lateribus paliide testaceis ; abdo-

lateral spines long; sides pale testaceous, slightly reflexed. Abdomen with
three dorsal rows of spines. Legs long; femora without spines; tibia3 with
two spines beneath. Length of the body 15 lines.
It is much allied to H. militaris ; the two typical specimens of the
latter appear to be in an early stage of growth. It is distinguished from
H. cervinus by the two red stripes on the abdomen, by the fewer spines on
the hind part of the prothorax, and by the hind tibia?, which have no spines
above.

The striped body will distinguish it from the preceding species of this
group. The shorter legs will distinguish it from H. fortis and from
11. militaris, and the spine on the head is longer than that of H. Petersii.

extremely minute; hind femora very slightly incrassated for half the length

longitudinal and with three transverse impressed lines, first transverse line
interrupted: second very deeply bent hinclward ; lateral keels well defined
hiudward, where they, like the slightly rounded hind border, are black and

It is typical of a section in the genus which includes the largest
species and to which M. thorucicum and M. Aztecurn also belong. The
prothorax is considerably longer than broad, which character distinguishes
it from M. Aztecum and it does not agree with the description of M. Tol-
tecum. It is nearly allied to Steirodon thoracicum, Serv., but the descrip-
tion of the latter does not fully agree with it.

between M. subaquale and M . decoratum as regards the keel of the vertex,
which is less equal in breadth than that of M. subaquale and less abruptly
attenuated than that of M. decoratum, and it differs from both these
species in having a longer oviduct. It also differs from M. decoratum in
the shape of the cerci.

flat disk, which widens towards the hind border and has a longitudinal
impressed line and two transverse impressed lines; of the latter the hinder
one is deeply angular ; lateral keels well defined ; fore border hardly
excavated; sides with a conical outline; hind border slightly rounded,
black, which hue extends along the adjoining part of each lateral keel.
Mesosternum and raetasternum rather deeply notched. Oviduct deep,
curved, about one-fourth of the length of the abdomen. Legs thick ; spines
minute; hind femora of the female three-fifths of the length of the fore
